Calvin and Hobbes embroidery

I made this pillowcase for a secret santa exchange. I used the sewing machine for the blocks of color and chain stitched the black outlines. After 5 years of using my sewing machine, I finally read the user manual, and I learned so many things! Actually, the machine was acting a bit weird, so that's why I read it. I took it apart and cleaned everything and put it back together and it worked fine. yay. From reading the manual, I learned that I can do embroidery with the machine.

Next time I would finish the edges off better.
